Royal Orchid Hotels Limited released its Q1 FY27 earnings call transcript. Consolidated revenue increased 36% YoY to ₹107 crore, supported by the operationalization of ICONIQA Mumbai, while EBITDA rose 39% YoY to approximately ₹33 crore with a 30.7% margin. Net profit declined to ₹6.4 crore from ₹10.9 crore in Q1 FY26 due to higher finance costs, depreciation, and upfront Ind AS 116 lease accounting impacts. The company added 5 hotels (237 keys) in Q1 and maintains a pipeline of 50+ signed hotels to open over the next 18 to 24 months under its asset-light expansion model.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedSubmission of the detailed Q1 FY27 earnings conference call transcript held on August 14, 2026.

Royal Orchid Q1 FY27: Revenue Grows 38.5% to ₹114.7 Cr; PAT Impacted by Lease Accounting
Royal Orchid Hotels reported a robust 38.5% YoY increase in consolidated revenue to ₹114.7 Cr for Q1 FY27, primarily driven by the new Iconiqa Mumbai property and a 13.6% rise in Average Room Rates (ARR) to ₹6,233. While EBITDA grew 39.1% to ₹32.9 Cr, consolidated PAT fell 39.3% YoY to ₹6.8 Cr due to significant Ind-AS 116 adjustments (lease accounting) which added ₹20.2 Cr to depreciation and finance costs. The company's inventory has expanded to 11,369 keys (including signed hotels), progressing toward its Vision 2030 target of 22,000+ keys.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedThe company has integrated the high-revenue Iconiqa Mumbai property into its consolidated results, leading to a significant jump in top-line and EBITDA but a temporary compression in net profit due to lease accounting.
Why it mattersThe results demonstrate strong pricing power (ARR growth) and successful scaling through the asset-light management model, though the high finance costs relative to EBITDA (40%) remain a key metric to watch.
Q1 Consolidated Revenue: ₹114.7 CrRevenue vs TTM Revenue: ~29.8%Average Room Rate (ARR): ₹6,233Ind-AS 116 PAT Impact: ₹3.4 Cr reductionTotal Keys (incl. signed): 11,369
📅 Short termThe stock may see mixed reactions as the market weighs strong revenue growth and ARR improvements against the sharp decline in reported PAT.
📈 Long termThe company is aggressively pursuing an asset-light strategy to triple its hotel count by 2030; long-term value depends on maintaining high ARRs while managing the rising lease-related costs.
⚠ Risk flags
- High finance costs (₹13.2 Cr in Q1) impacting net margins
- Significant Ind-AS 116 accounting volatility
- Execution risk in doubling key count by 2030
Key Highlights
Consolidated Total Income rose 38.5% YoY to ₹114.7 Cr in Q1 FY27.

Iconiqa Mumbai contributed ₹20.1 Cr in its first full quarter, targeting an annual run-rate of ₹80-100 Cr.
Finance costs surged 235.6% YoY to ₹13.2 Cr, largely due to Ind-AS 116 lease liability interest.
Total portfolio reached 173+ hotels and 11,369 keys including signed properties.
👀 What to Watch
Investors should monitor the operational break-even and margin profile of the Iconiqa Mumbai property excluding Ind-AS 116 impacts, and track the execution of the 38 upcoming hotel signings to meet the FY26 target of 9,875 operational keys.
38.5% Revenue Growth in Q1 FY27; ₹2.50 Dividend Recommended
Royal Orchid Hotels reported a strong 38.5% YoY growth in consolidated total income to ₹114.70 crore for Q1 FY27. While EBITDA grew 39.1% to ₹32.93 crore, Consolidated PAT declined to ₹6.79 crore from ₹11.19 crore in the previous year, largely due to Ind-AS 116 accounting adjustments which reduced PAT by ₹3.40 crore. The company added 5 new hotels (237 keys) during the quarter and maintains a robust pipeline of 50+ properties. A final dividend of ₹2.50 per share has been recommended with a record date of August 28, 2026.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedThe company reported strong top-line growth and continued its asset-light expansion, but saw a significant drop in net profit due to accounting-driven increases in depreciation and finance costs.
Why it mattersThe results demonstrate the company's ability to scale revenue through management contracts, though the bottom line remains sensitive to lease accounting and operational costs as it pursues its Vision 2030 targets.
